SI Khalid Hussain from police station Iqbal Town nominated nine leaders in the FIR, including JI Ameer Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, Ziauddin Ansari, Khalid Butt, Liaqat Baloch, and Ahmad Salman Baloch.
According to the police, the roadblock caused significant inconvenience to the public, leading to the legal action against the protestors.
JI Central Secretary General Amirul Azeem condemned the arrests, criticizing the Punjab Police for arresting leaders and dismantling protest camps.
He noted that leaders from districts like Khanewal, Rajanpur, and Okara, including Haroon Rasheed Nizami and Dr. Irfan, were arrested.
Ameerul Azim vowed that such actions would not deter the movement.
Earlier to this, Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan announced nationwide sit-ins on September 29 to push for a reduction in electricity prices.
Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, the JI chief Hafiz Muhammad Naeem highlighted the ongoing ‘Haq Do Awam Ko’ movement, aimed at providing relief to the public, particularly in the soaring electricity bills.
